Labour officials had red faces today - no doubt matching their political leanings - after the Party's site was vandalised early this morning.

The usual dry political spin was replaced with a picture of George Bush carrying his dog bearing the face of a somewhat stunned Tony Blair.

A rather crotchety Labour spin doctor said: "these things happen", before hanging up.

Luckily, the BBC managed to capture a snapshot of the image before it was pulled down. You can view that here. ®
